39-year-old father is cycling 500 miles for roof repair charity

Rafal Rogoza/The Jersey JournalChuck Anania, founder of Roof4Roof, passed through Bayonne today as part of his 500 mile bike ride through the tri-state area to promote his organization dedicated to provide roof repairs to homeowners in need.

This summer's heat waves and thunderstorms may have kept many people indoors, but Chuck Anania is not one of them.

He is on a grueling mission to bike 500 miles to promote Roof4Roof, an organization dedicated to providing emergency roof repairs to homeowners who can't pay for the fix, The Jersey Journal reports.

The 39-year-old father of two began pedaling on July 24 in Trenton and rode his bike through Bayonne on Friday. He will be visiting 130 cities as he bikes 15 miles daily from New Jersey to upstate New York, then to Connecticut, finishing in Times Square on Aug. 7.
